About HenryBemis
Many-many-many times, I want to respond to a comment - I write up an answer.. most times it ends up being a LONG response (i.e. 500-1000 words). I leave the tab open. I re-read it and edit it, I do this a couple of times. When I have written up a 'good enough response', I close the tab and never post the response. I do this so I don't waste people's time with long responses, while giving me the time to think, rethink, read more about the topic, learn from the other responses, and the extra reading I've done. I blame Lex Fridman (and his darn questions) for this!! :)
(but sometimes.. sometimes.. I do hit the 'reply' button)
Hmm.. I see.. 24/2/2017, and today it's 23/2/2025.. 8 years..
(fun fact - the very day I added a (not-my-main) gmail in the email form, someone tried to 'get in', used recovery, etc. So.. "admins see your email below".. is a joke, and a bad one)

It's not hubris (for the engineer) in this case though. It is the fact that company X knows that its dept Y can thrive with 10 engineers, and stay afloat with 5 engineers, so the m…

hi, cool use-case! Question: do they have to type it, or one can upload an audio (old people such as me may talk for 5mins about a mini-story vs typing for 20mins, especially if th…

We can't. If someone tries, then they get arrested for doxing, harassing, "causing discomfort", etc. Have you tried to follow a politician around? Do you want to try and track thei…

I read the first 4-5. They either 'provide services' to govs/law enforcement, and/or are ran by govs. So to answer to your question, Nothing. You can write 100 letters to your sena…

The ads (and it's been debated) is (imho as well) a way to 'buy out those who can keep then in check'. Media/journalists are supposed to be doing that. But when your chief editor t…
